👉 A "hardly fluid" refers to a substance or state that is very viscous or resistant to flow, making it difficult to move or mix easily. This term describes liquids or materials that have a high resistance to deformation under applied force, often due to strong intermolecular forces. For example, honey or syrup exhibits a highly viscous, hardly fluid quality, as it flows slowly and resists being poured or stirred. In a broader context, it can also describe a situation where processes or systems are slow and difficult to navigate due to inherent resistance or complexity.
